Seatech supported the project supplying dive teams around the clock to help secure the huge metal cables to the caissons on the side of the ship which would help right the vessel after a 19 hour procedure. The dive teams worked on various applications including Underwater Welding & cutting.
A convoy of more than a dozen support vessels, including two tugboats successfully towed the Costa Concordia into Genoa Port on 2nd August 2014 where it will be broken up for scrap.
